The child was taken to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in critical condition.

"Pay attention to these kids all the time," Jones said.

Jones, who has two grandchildren, said he realizes it could have been his child. He said he would want someone else to help his child if he was in that situation. He's grateful he was in the right place and able to help.

"I'm not a hero. I was just helping," Jones said. "Y'all quit calling me a hero."
